After three years as editor-in-chief, Dr Bettina Heimsoeth will in future be devoting herself to other tasks in the Verlagsanstalt Handwerk.

New challenge

"Thank you all for three years of fascinating and exciting cooperation," explained Heimsoeth. "It was a pleasure for me to organise our journal by following your projects, products and visions." She hoped the industry would in future also offer her successor interesting subjects and texts.

Ulrike Lotze was previously a business journalist for the Deutsche Handwerksblatt, which is likewise published by the Verlagsanstalt Handwerk. "I am greatly looking forward to this new challenge," emphasised the graduate journalist. "The reception in the industry to date has been very warm."
